Dude! This is rad!

I thought I’d just check it out and move on, but the subject, aspects and video editing pulled me in more. Solid video share! =D

I thought the benchmark was whether it can play Doom?

I don’t know what community you frequently visit, but I hardly ever see any shitposting comments, edge lord comments, etc., in the communities I frequent.

This is far superior to Hunter2 as a password.

For the less informed, what might that look like?

Hey everyone! Look at @Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com! They’re human after all!

(We all have made basic and advanced mistakes. It happens. =))

From personal experience, whenever I’ve put a space in, I am told that spaces are not allowed. I tend to resort to using the minus sign " - " or the underscore sign " _ " in its place.

Sure, this has a chance of eliminating a billionaire, but I can think of two critical errors here.

1. What’s stopping them from just visiting/moving to an island for a weekend, month, year, or more, to prevent them from being killed?

2. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean that their wealth goes away or reverts to the general populous. I’m not up on how many kids Elon Musk has nowadays (nor do I care to learn about it), but he has over 10 kids, last I checked. And because it’s not public record or hasn’t been leaked, we don’t know if any of them will inherit any of it. But chances are, they do. This then becomes something like a monarchical power problem. (I also don’t recall what it’s called, but there is a thought experiment where you try to determine if killing said person will be the best option to bring about a more peaceful, prosperous, and/or high quality of life in said country, if they are. We have a long line of historical events that often show that by killing one of the ‘evil’ persons, you do run the risk of replacing them with someone even more ‘evil’ than the person before them.

People on these corporate boards will clamor for the top position during a power vacuum situation. And so killing a person at the head of ‘all of this’ doesn’t really resolve the issue at hand. I’m a dreamer, and I’m not the only one. I believe that this all boils down to the need for a grassroots movement to replace the people in power in our governments and change the systems that do not or no longer serve the majority of people well enough or at all.

Final Destination (insert number)?

Just this morning, while watching a saved Youtube video on my phone, I had a bad experience that had me really wish there was a solid contender to Youtube as it’s really gone to shit with its user experience. You watch a skipable ad at the beginning that can be skipped after 5 seconds. It’s for a major jewelry store chain. I’m a dude who doesn’t own nor care to own a watch, necklace, etc. anytime soon. I’m also not seeing anyone. Haven’t mentioned online or in text of marriage or the like. So why am I seeing an ad for this?? Tap the tiny info icon near the number of ads, to see why this ad was targeted at me. “Age group.” FFS.

Skip ad and start into video about space and what’s beyond our solar system. Two minutes or so in, pop out ad appears on my phone screen while the video is still playing. “Gahhh.” Close it. Two minutes later, another broadly targeted ad. “What the heck Why am I seeing a perfume ad?” Skip ad after five seconds. Return to the video that only has about 8 minutes left. Three and a half minutes later, pop out ad. Close ad. Continue watching. Pop out ad shows up. This time, I don’t see an “X” to close it. “Wtf? Why can’t I close it?” Start thinking that I might need to exit fullscreen to see the exit option. Do so, but it’s being finicky. Phone won’t auto rotate now. Try to fix it. Finally get it to work and close the ad that now takes over the comment section and video suggestion just below the video. Close it. “Seriously, someone really needs to become a competitor to Youtube! This shit is outrageous now!”

This seems like the best time to start watching PeerTube videos first, then deal with the hell hole that is Youtube now, if I want to watch more content.

No idea who that is, so no.

Bless your soul for including the meme template!

As a moderator of !lv426@lemmy.world, I disagree with the first two. As a fan of both, I FULLY disagree.

Nostalgia is a powerful ‘drug’.

The question was worded in such a way as to provoke creative and critical thinking about what a community could do with just $10,000. The amount is carefully selected because it’s way more achievable than collecting $100k from a community or a single family, or person. It was crafted to be thought provoking as to what would it take to imporve (____ insert answer___).

As for the discussion of bicycle road improvements, there is a fair amount you could do with just $10,000 as a starting point. Partnering with local bicycle shops to help sponsor a community/town/city ride event, a community safety event where you could do a drawing for new helmets, water bottle holders and bottles, etc. There are also options to host a race for a few or several age groups. Tiered prizes to be offered to the top three or five competitors.

In doing so, this could be a foundation for analyzing community interest, involvement, connection, and discussion as to how to better utilize or improve what they have to work with locally.

I like your idea. Though I think I would personally team up with a doctor who does human vasectomies and give out vouchers. Indoor cats have a life expectancy of 15-17 years, and feral cats have much less. Human males in the US however, have an average of 77 years of life expectancy. I personally believe we have a greater problem with the human population numbers than we do with cats or any other animal on this planet.

I’m not feeling up to researching this statement for a broader audience (in this moment), but I can attest to what I learned many, many years ago while I was volunteering at my local food bank. I was informed by the gal who ran the food bank warehouse that monetary donations are by far the best thing you can give a food bank. You touched on it, that money doesn’t expire. So they don’t have to deal with the influx of food donations as often or as drastically.

Just like @JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world shared, an established food bank can easily stretch that same dollar for more food. I recall the gal at my local food bank informing me one day that she can buy food for 2/3rds of the store price with no sweat. I think she said the best she ever scored was 2/5ths of the store price on meat, as it was going to go bad in a week or so. And thankfully, they had plenty of county based food pantries that were able to distribute that meat to a lot of people in need. So not only could they save on purchasing, but they were also in the loop on overstock, near expiration food pushes, and also, farmers would donate whatever small amount of leftover food they had. Not to mention elderly people would had grown some squash, cucumbers, and even green onions in their garden, to be donated to the county food bank.

Sharing this actually has me remembering that there are plenty of unsung local heroes. Plenty of people who do good and don’t ask for recognition. So while the world seems like it’s all going to hell, there are plenty of good doers out there still. We just don’t hear about them. Fighting the good fight to keep us all progressing forward.

One that made me feel like I had wasted time watching the show was How I Met Your Mother. It was a fun show and really picked up in quality in seasons three - five. They could have ended the show in season 7, really, if they had planned for it. Season 8 was kind of a bore, and season 9 was bad, as all of the season took place over a weekend. And when we got the finale of the show… I was so tired of holding on to what might come that it really hit me negatively how they ended it.

That being said, Game of Thrones ended so poorly that I was baffled as to how haphazard and dull the writing and storytelling was that I, just like a lot of others, held on to hope that the last few episodes might bring things all around. (Morgan Freeman as Narrator - It didn’t.) While cracks were showing since late season 6, the finale of that show was horrible. The payoffs didn’t come, and everything just felt so rushed, watered down, and a tremendous feeling that content was missing from the season, if they were to help make sense of the finale.
